Project 67

I've found a project to keep myself busy with (Yamaha 1967 YL1), I used to ride this when I was 14.

Link to original page on YouTube.

If anyone knows of place that has a seat assembly and a left side cover please let me know.

looks like a great project. good for you keeping it all this time. she looks in pretty good shape for her age. you might want to consider redoing the seat yourself. its messy but very rewarding to have a custom seat fine-tuned for your very own misshaped ass. at least, my ass thanks me.

Think I'm going to have to Custom make the seat, hardest part to find for this thing. I might not go stock theme but try and make a cafe racer style, have some straight bars coming in.

Stage two with the YL1

I like the colors!

I had a 1964's bike with those colors.

Too me a couple of tries to get the color I wanted, but I'm liking it. A little darker than the original Yamaha Peacock blue.

Been on a little hold, just finished a massive edit of a trip down to the Isle of Man. The buffing wheel starts up again most likely this weekend, just finishing up a few odd things.

Last video looked nice. My first was a 1966 Suzuki 150 S32. I was 13. I had mini bikes, homemade motorbikes, a scooter, and a go cart. I wanted a new race kart and my dad got me the Suzuki instead. I wasn't disappointed.

Smart man, karting can add up quick once you get into racing.

I still have my first mini bike (clinton 5hp), little ballon tires, centrifugal clutch. I used to drive campers crazy with that thing ... lol

150, very nice. At 14 the 100 was a lot of fun and great transportation.
